Bath resealing in Kedleston without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive

FAQs for Kedleston
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kedleston.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
